In huge corporations you often find people who have jobs that basically do almost nothing but aren’t noticed by their higher ups, what examples have you seen of this?

This is actually me, I’m one of the jobs that is very much fluff. I do have days where I do a good amount of work, but most of the time I do a lot of sitting and redditing.
I’m salary and I’m going into school so the freedom gives the advantage to focus on schooling
That must be so frustrating. A lot of people feel like they’re not being noticed at work.
A cousin used to claim reading one sci-fi novel a week at his quality check job. No passenger train wrecks had been linked to him so far.
Started a new job at an auto shop and I literally do 5 minutes of work everyday.
My boss comes and chats with me every morning.
I think he keeps me around for that reason alone or just doesn’t care.
I’ve beaten 9 switch games since I started and am currently picking away at an online coding course.
All those people that Twitter and fakebook can suddenly do without. You’d have to wonder what they were doing.
Diversity officer
Whatever Jason’s job title is.
They’re noticed. But management hasn’t yet decided that they’re worth the effort to try and counsel or find work for them to do. Lots of reasons for that. Maybe there’s not enough work, but they don’t want to lose the headcount, maybe they’re still performing some vital function, or maybe management thinks they’re capable of more and they’re seeing if they will step up on their own.
Either way, if you’re one of those people, you need to either step up somehow and make yourself more valuable, or you need to resign yourself to losing that job at some point in the near future.
